I don't think you have been listening to very much of what I've explained to you in previous posts.
I am an avid winter sports/backcountry enthusiast and my favorite ski area gets more snow than any other ski area in North America. This means plenty of winter storms, the likes of which you have never seen. Many backcountry adventures have remote trailheads, often unplowed. Sports cars are a terrible choice for driving through this kind of weather and do not have enough room inside for backcountry partners and outdoor gear. The roads are steep, poorly maintained and very twisty. The distances are great so range/fuel economy is important. Even with my 400 + mile range I need to drive 34 miles round-trip to re-fuel when the skiing is at it's best because there is exactly zero fuel available between my mountain cabin and the best alpine access points. The plows stop running before dark, even when it's dumping five inches/hour. This is not a job for a sports car! Duh!
The better weight distribution of the little 2.0L engine greatly increases the corner performance in the snow/ice because the front end doesn't have as much tendency to push wide. And believe me, in the early season (before the snowbanks have had an opportunity to build up and function as guardrails) the last thing you want to do is push wide on some of these corners because you will be on a 1000 foot trip off the side of the mountain the narrow road is chiseled into. Of course pushing wide on a right hand corner just puts you into the on-coming lane where, if luck is with you, you won't be staring into the throat of one of these barreling down on you at 35 mph as you slide into the spinning blades:
No, you really don't want your front end pushing wide on any of those right hand corners.
The WSDOT uses these too:
This photo is from May, once the weather starts to lighten up. While this style plow doesn't have spinning blades it's still a shocker to come around a narrow corner and be looking at one of these in the wide shovel. You do not want to push wide on these corners.
Here's a photo from July:
This is not sports car country (even if I could fit all my backcountry gear in one). But the sporty, well balanced handling of my CX-5 is sure appreciated.
Any questions?
